im not saying its necessary ... it definatly isnt... but if the contacts arent clean (really oxidized) the metal has to get hot enough to basically burn it off. Which can take a while and is sometimes hard to handle...the flux will burn the oxidation off and allow the solder to flow much much more easily.
